TUBE 4CW10,000A / 8661

GENERAL DESCRIPTION


photo 4CW10,000A The 4CW10,000A / 8661 is a water-cooled, ceramic-metal power tetrode which is electrically identical to the 4CX10,000D / 8171 (and 4CX5000A / 8170, except for plate dissipation). The water-cooled anode is equipped with an integral water jacket and is rated at 12 kilowatts dissipation.

The 4CW10,000A / 8661 is useful as an oscillator, amplifier or modulator at frequencies up to 110 megacycles, and is particularly suited for use as a linear rf amplifier or class-AB audio amplifier.

A pair of these tubes operating class AB will deliver more than 30 kilowatts of audio-frequency or radio-frequency plate output power.
